Medicaid provides care for indigent citizens under age 18 and their parents, persons over age 65, and those permanently and totally disabled. Medicaid is supervised by the Federal government, administered by the States, and funded by State and Federal taxes. [N.b., as a result of health insurance reform, by 2014 Medicaid will be available to any indigent citizen, regardless of age or disability.]

The individual must be "permanently and totally" disabled as defined by Social Security regulations - i.e., have a physical and/or mental impairment(s) that will result in death or make it permanently impossible to perform any work that s/he would qualify for based on age, education and experience.

Persons who are "totally and permanently" disabled, as defined by Social Security regulations, and who meet the other eligibility factors such as citizenship and income, may receive Medicaid.
